My Norges Vel

In Norges Vel we work with various different tasks, which means my daily activities are ever changing. Although we are an organisation that manages to adapt to the needs of the present, we are at the same time keeping our core priorities and competency that are directed to contributing to sustainable local communities.

Working with creative and solution oriented colleagues and partners are something which gives me great satisfaction. Meaningful projects motivates one to contribute to creating good results. Not only to the economical balance of Norges Vel, but also for our ideal work in Norge and Internationally.
